On demand

This webinar is the latest session in the  JBoss Developer Webinar Series. 

You love Java™ and its ecosystem. But the 15-year-old language and class libraries may no longer be the best foundation for your business computing needs.

Join our webinar to learn about Ceylon -- a new programming language that executes on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Ceylon includes many improvements to Java while sticking to the Java philosophy that people love.

In this webinar, you will:

• Get an introduction to the main features of Ceylon.
• Learn about the ongoing progress of the compiler, IDE, and tools.
• Find out about the community that developed this language.
